The paper examines moral deference regarding ethical concerns in Gaza, suggesting a pathway to articulate shared grievances.
This paper discusses the idea of moral deference in the context of the ongoing war in Gaza. This idea is particularly pertinent where many ethicists seem to share the sense that the Israeli onslaught in Gaza is immoral, and yet only few articulate it in writing. Moral deference, I suggest, can be a temporary measure against such paralysis, by referring to international humanitarian law.
